Calcium particulate coming from humidifier. I'm using soft water (from a well), but it seems like there's still build-up. I added water softener salt tablets to the humidifier, but I don't think changed anything (ion exchange w/o a charge?). Distilled water expensive...Ideas?

Distillate water is dead water. Add you water o2 with air stone like in fish tanks doing it. Itโ€™s make water alive and be very healthy.

Is your humidifier not filtered? I honestly get a build of minerals in my humidifier itself but I just clean it with vinegar every month and change the filter so the air it's blowing out into my veg room is clean and free if particulates. I guess that's why I'm not sure why you're getting actual particulates in your air. So maybe a bad filter? Or you could get a water softener but that's not all that cheap. Also RO water really isn't all that expensive. Try that maybe.
